I thought all 4.2.2 devices supported Miracast, but I don't see an option for it....
I was thinking of getting a cheapy dongle off of ebay to mirror my TS to the TV (no idea why lol)....
Anyone got any ideas?

You'll not need any option.
Buy ezcast, it's 15$ dongle and with ezcast app you'll be more than satisfied.
I'm using it on all my devices (Z1, N7, XU...)and I'm planning to use it on TS.
I have cast screen option on Nexus 7 and it can't detect dongle but as I said - ezcast app is doing great job and.
Literally - plug and play...
Mirror/dlna/web/live/music/video - everything is working...

Video player (inside of app) is capable to show subtitles, that's something I really need...
Cheapest and best wifi dongle I ever had...and I have chromecast too...
This is better device then Google chromecast.
Google restricted many options and it's, for me, best for web and media servers streaming (youtube, netflix)...
But ezcast is best for mirroring and wifi video/pist/music sharing (from other device)

What dongle do you have? I was looking at the Measy A2W but its got such awful reviews on Amazon... I thought it looked like the one of the better built Miracast / EzCast dongles...

There are quite a few dongles that apparently support eZcast, however does this work much the same way as Chromecast works where you only use your phone as a remote control... where as miracast is actually mirroing your device screen instead of just syncing the Casting Dongle to play the same content from where you left off?

Also...
I can play videos/movies with external subtitles, mp3, web pages... (not in mirror mode, it has app that can play all that media while I'm using my device...
One more thing, even expanded window is working...
It's absolutely great gadget...

Here's a Media Share app from the system dump of the MyTouch 4G by clink. eVil pointed out the name of the Twonky.apk so I could find it.
Tested so far on my Enom 2.13.2 hybrid ROM and streamed to my Windows 7 PC and video's played but with no sound using Windows Media Player. Music streamed good!
I'd thought I'd share my findings here. Don't know if it will work on other ROM's, so test it. Have yet to test on my PS3.
To test and install put on SD Card and use Astro to open.

Orb Live will do both for you...
the PC side is free (and you can stream to other PCs).
The native android app is in the market.
I think you can stream your media through the browser on the phone now that we have flash though. And then it'd be totally free...
mm Nice
I got streaming video/music/pics working from TVersity to my Nexus One browser... not bad through 3G either.. If anyone need directions PM me..
So has this happened to anyone else?
You're exploring the handful of apps on your 3D that you haven't even gotten a chance to look at yet, and you find several that seem really cool, albeit a tad repetitive (here I'm thinking Dock, Media Share, Connected Media..etc.) and you think "wow, awesome, I can stream movies from this phone to my other devices" or "wow, awesome, I can transfer HDMI video from this phone to other devices"....
..and then you realize that to do ANY of these cool things, you'll need either for the other device (e.g., your PC) to be DLNA compatible, or else you'll need to go out and buy an HDMI cord...or else a docking station.
I guess this post is 1/2 complaint and 1/2 question, but to be fair I should ask the question before I complain too much: do I HAVE to have a DLNA/HDMI cable/Dock station to do some/most of these cool functions? I mean obviously I can copy/paste files onto other devices--or even doing so wirelessly using bluetooth, Samba, etc..---but it seems like the coolest functions all require stuff I don't have, and I guess I'm especially confused about DLNA since my laptop is a dell from last September...seems new enough to have supported DLNA...
Alternately, is there a workaround for DLNA? A program or device or add-on I can use to make my laptop compatible?
OK I guess that's my rant, sorry and thanks for listening...
I'm no DLNA expert, but I think that any PC/Laptop running Windows that has WIFI can support DLNA, I'm pretty sure its just a matter of having the software.
Also you should be able to send data to your TV through a XBOX 360 or Playstation 3, I believe they both support DLNA.

All you have to do to make your computer work with DLNA is to go into windows media player, make sure WMP is in full screen, then in the tool bar click stream, then make sure "allow remote control of my player" is selected, and "automatically let devices play my media" is selected. then click" more streaming options" and see if there are any devices found, then make sure none are blocked. Now your done.
EDIT: make sure your all your devices are on the same wifi network for this to work

There's really only two major services for streaming, Airplay (Apple) and DLNA (Everyone else). You've got plenty of options as mentioned above including any windows device, ps3, etc.

Scotbot this is great! Now I can stream my media from my phone to my windows media player--very nice! I followed your steps, and then went into media share and enabled certain folders to be shared, and voila!
I guess the only better thing would be if I could actually use "Connected Media" to share with WMP--b/c then the phone would be the controller from what I understand. As it is, Media Share simply lets WMP access my phone, but Connected Media actually lets me play a movie on my phone that then automatically streams to other devices...I'm guessing that actually requires legit DLNA...?
Thanks for the post! I can now send 2D videos and photos to my laptop and my Samsung LCD TV! Works great!!!

A quick check of Amazon.com releaves that Sony seems to be the only one making DLNA speakers. Several Home Audio Amps and BluRay players are coming with that feature, as well as Smart HDTVs. I have a few of both, and am truly enjoying throwing music from my tablet to my home theater via a Sharp Smart TV. Can't help you with a speaker choice though. Maybe a few more brands will show up with DLNA speakers this year.

I wonder if they will work with video from netflix or mx video player coming on the screen still but sound out of the dlna or is it bad idea or impossible?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk
DLNA support is still a mixed bag as far as my experience shows. I haven't seen any device or app that can split up the audio and video to output to different devices. Anything I can throw video at gets the audio as well. At best you can keep a now playing screen up for audio on the tablet when sending the actual music output to a speaker or amp or TV. Yet if the audio or video is web based, wifi is occupied and I haven't yet found a way to also use DLNA to forward either the audio or video part of it to another device. Not to say it won't be possible in the future, but DLNA is a relatively new technology. I suspect we'll eventually see two wifi channels/chips in these devices, mainly to support wifi in and DLNA out simultaneously.
so what you suggest, should I buy one or wait??!!!??
its actually quite expensive as well..
I have both the tablet s n sans300 dlna speakers n it all works fine for me. Haven't been able to play a movie on the tablet with the sound via the speakers with dlna but the speaker has an audio in port where u can just plug a 3.5mm audio jack in to play as a regular speaker...
Btw, the sans300 is amazing n has great audio quality wherever u r in the room...I just wish that it also ran on batteries so it can just "float" in the middle of the room...

The same splitting problem will still be present as it is not possible for a DLNA Renderer of any kind to play media it is not able to play (i.e. speakers cannot play movies). DLNA just doesn't work like that.
It's also worth noting that DLNA support for me has been far from a "mixed bag" when using the stock Sony apps, so they're definitely a better bet.
When these speakers will be available in Singapore..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
why use DNLA ....
..... use bluetooth, logic make a BT connetor that you can use on any speakers I've got one set up that uses all my mobile devices including laptops galaxy note Tablet s etc.
Be wary that using Bluetooth does invoke a certain loss in audio quality, but does enable you to connect without WiFi. They are quite different technologies after all.
As for the DLNA's availability, you might be best asking the Sony Central (or Style) in Singapore about that.
Yes, thats true there is a loss (or so they tell me), but if like me, you cant tell the difference, meh.
The sound comes out of the speakers and the vid plays on the tab, and the logic is only about 30 quid so if you've already got speakers no need to buy new ones.
This app is just amazing, I have made a server on plex for my 1tb hard drive and can easily watch movies on my nexus 10 from any where. At home, I just connect the n10 to my tvand stream the movies from the plex server to my n10 through WiFi which then shows it on my HD TV. The cool part is that I use my nexus 4 as plex remote through the app

Huh? Unless OP works for Plex or gets a commission on the whopping $5 the app costs he's most likely sharing something s/he finds useful with others which is more than anyone can say about your snarky retort. Plex happens to be a great tool for sharing video over your network or for accessing your network via Wi-Fi or 3/4G while traveling. For the latter it transcodes based on the available bandwidth. It's also pre-installed on LG TVs and is certified to run on Samsung SmartTVs. You can also share your media library (and vice versa) with friends that use Plex.
Here are some pics of it on an N2 and a link to a discussion in their forum.

I haven't tried plex but I'd imagine it has hardware decoding that works fine, but if I'm not mistaken its just a light client. With XBMC you're getting the full XBMC that you get on the desktop or whatever other platform. Having said that I haven't run it on my nexus 10 yet and I'm not sure if there's a build with hardware accel for it but there probably is one out there (Unfortunately the xbmc.org build does not have it), but I run a build on my android g-box midnight tv box and it works great.
XBMC works great on the N10, the recently released Archos Video also runs great but is a little light on configurability, they're actively working on it though.

Plex is great. aMPdroid with Media Portal is good too, and free. Plex is much easier to setup and better for sharing with other people. Roku's even have a Plex app for accessing your media servers. The upside of aMPdroid is you can use external players, and it's free. If I didn't want to share my media with anyone I would stick with aMPdroid because Media Portal is much better on desktop/HTPC than Plex, using external players is very useful, and remote access can be done through secure vpn etc. You can access files remotely with aMPdroid just like Plex, and even stream TV, it is just harder to setup for your friends and family, and there is no iOS support.

You said your television is an XBR950 model, so it should support Miracast. Go on-line to Sony Support and download a manual for your television and read how to enable the Miracast feature.

Unfortunately, the KDE-55XBR950 is the (no offense intended) economy plasma version of the XBR950 models which does not have the Miracast feature. Nor does it have Ethernet capabilities. Your only choice for playing videos from your XTZ on your television is by connecting a MHL to HDMI adapter between the XTZ and the television.
